About the BCU

This appendix provides reference documentation for the Brocade Command Line Utility (BCU) 
supporting the Brocade Fibre Channel components.

BCU runs in two modes:

•

Direct mode, where you type the command at the command prompt. For example:

bcu port --topology <port_id> <auto|p2p|loop>

•

Shell mode, accessed using the bcu shell; for example, 
bcu> port --topology <port_id> <auto|p2p|loop>

.

•

To access the shell mode, type bcu shell.

•

To exit out of shell mode, type exit.

All the commands in this appendix are shown in the direct mode. For example:

bcu port --topology <port_id> <auto|p2p|loop>

To use the CLI help, type the following command:

bcu --help
